During its heyday, Crysis was “the” game to benchmark new systems on. Nothing came close to being as good looking (or graphically demanding). If your machine could run Crysis, you were a god.

I was able to throw the game in around 5:20pm here on the West, and it took an hour of EA servers failing. Then finally at 6:19pm I loaded my first game.
